Yes -- but what, exactly, are you trying to do?
Don't know how explain it much better than the title of this thread. That's what I was trying to do. Make the message stop happening. With that the script would work and look fine. Sorry, I thought my explanations would make things clearer.

WHY you are killing processes in such a manner. Why you think this "prevents forking".
Because when it forks it kills one of the 2 current processes. If you know a better way than this or using exec, by all means show me.

Also, please stop PMing me.
Sorry, I could see I was having trouble explaining this to you. I thought sending you the entire code would let you see what I was talking about. It won't happen again.

ppmtopgm

ppmtopgm(1)						      General Commands Manual						       ppmtopgm(1)

NAME

       ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtopgm [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  pixmap  as  input.  Produces a portable graymap as output.  The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original
       image, as in a black and white photograph.  The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b.

       Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any  ppm  program  can
       read  pgm  (and	pbm  ) files automatically.  pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file.  Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting
       color to gray.  And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate  the  original
       colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph.

QUOTE

       Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
       Removes the colors from our sight
       Red is gray, and yellow white
       But we decide which is right
       And which is a quantization error.
